Abstract:
In this study, we, for the first time, compiled all publicly available annually or biannually resolved C records, which fully covers 7 grand solar minima at an annual and bi-annual resolution. Our results from 7 grand solar minima showed a clear relationship between the rate of increase (decrease) in solar activity levels and how long the onset (termination) of the grand solar minima will last. Additionally, we show a weaker relationship between the durations of onsets and terminations and between the rate of increase and decrease of solar activity levels. Our results also suggest there might be two or more types of grand solar minima.

Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
